I have driven my C4S as a daily driver to work for 12 full months now (33 miles each way), including in rain, snow, ice, etc., and I have had NO problem whatsoever in any conditions. I put All-Season tires on her in the cold weather and she loves it. Of course, I drive carefully depending on the conditions and I particularly watch out for other drivers when the road is slick, but I have yet to find a situation in which I didn't feel that my car had excellent grip. That's what I was hoping for in buying a "4", and I have not been disappointed. Good luck!

Living in Colorado and drove it all winter. Not as confident as an Audi but I was able to get around safely all winter. Get good snow tires and you'll be fine.

I drive mine almost every day in the UK and had some great fun in the snow this year. I make sure to wash all the crappy salt that our government insist on splashing everywhere in great clumps at the first sign of frost.
These cars have been designed and developed to deal with the harshest of weather.
Do what they were designed for - to be driven and driven hard!
